Afghanistan: Forced Marriage

Question

The Prime Minister announced the allocation of £50 million on 31 October to provide life-saving food, emergency health services, and shelter and warm clothing to help vulnerable people prepare for winter. It will also be used to provide support for victims of gender-based violence and essential child protection services. Aid agencies will prioritise those most at risk including households headed by women and disabled people. We have made human rights and access for humanitarian response a central feature of all of our contact with the Taliban to date.
